The Oilers started their big roster reset by trading one of the few best wingers in hockey to the Devils.
Edmonton sent Taylor Hall, the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft, to New Jersey for defenseman Adam Larsson. TSN's Ryan Rishaug first reported the news.
No matter what the Devils would've sent back, short of star goalie Cory Schneider, this is going to go down as a gigantic win for GM Ray Shero and an equally large loss for Edmonton GM Peter Chiarelli.
Hall, top to bottom, is in the class of players directly behind Alex Ovechkin, and is signed to a $6 million-AAV contract through 2020.
